[shaz103]

after months of researching I decided on an epson B1100 and I had bookmarked a page for an epson B1100 printer but it is out of stock and now unsure what printer I should get I only have a budget of £250 for a printer and the sublimation ink any advice would be gratefully received

thank you purpledragon was thinking of epson wf 7015 i am looking at it now ... i need an a3 printer as it incorporates my existing business of sewing and branching out to sublimation printing of personalised cushion covers

I use a Brother 5910DW. Good price, great printer, in my opinion.

twinsgran do you use sublimation inks with the brother printer?

I use the Epson 1400 which I have three off, one is used soley for sublimation, one for general printing and one with pigment ink in for photographs and I run them all with CISS systems and they all work fine with me.

Tried the b1100 and whilst it worked perfectly well I was less than impressed with the print quality. Now using the 1500w for my A3 work and its far far better.

Standard cushions are about 14-15" inch square, with a little extra bleed for the cut and sew work, you'd be better with a bigger budget and an A2/17" roll feed printer.

Thank you for replying, I have spent all day trying to find an A3 printer within my budget and sublimation ink system and not getting anywhere does anyone know if the WF7015 is any good? ..pisquee... I would not be printing out the whole cushion just most of it if it makes any sense? I would love the roll feed printer ... maybe one day if the sales takes off
